The San Diego Padres needed a rainout more than Cleveland as their struggling lineup is hitting just .189 to start the season. They should show some life against a Cleveland rotation that has been getting hammered, requiring five relievers in their last game, and the pen is getting over worked early. The last five Tribe starters have lasted a combined 22.1 innings and have pitched to an enormous 7.66 ERA. San Diego has shined in a series opener as they are 8-2 in their last 10 series lid lifters, while the Tribe has done a meltdown vs. the NL West at 4-9 in their last 13 against them. The Padres' bats come alive tonight, so take San Diego.
